to Pulse a 14.5~T Solenoid Magnet}

\subsubsection{Introduction}

The project goal is to pulse a magnet with 20~cm diameter bore, capable of a peak field near 15~T and a repetition rate of about 30~minutes.

Funding realities make it prudent to consider a stageable design with the following 3 cases 
\begin{itemize}

\item The magnet achieves peak field of   5~T~\@ 84~K
\item The magnet achieves peak field of 10~T~\@ 74~K
\item The magnet achieves peak field of 14.5~T~\@ 30~K
\end{itemize}

From the power supply point of view, we will start with a  540~KVA power 
supply rated at 3600~A, $\pm 150$~V (Case 1)

To support case 1, and for cases 2 and 3 we will have four 540~KVA in series/parallel to generate  7200~A, $\pm 300$~V  (Cases 2-3).

The 540~KVA power supplies are thyristor-control six-pulse rectifiers, 
available at BNL from previous experiments. 

These power supplies are presently configured as DC power supplies.   

We need to modify their regulators to be able to pulse them. 

The controls and interlocks of these power supplies must be updated.

Similar upgrades have been made during the Booster project with great success.

Case 1 power supply (5 T magnet):


\subsubsection{Case 1 power supply (5~T magnet)}

This power supply will be a thyristor phase control power supply rated at 
3600~A, $\pm 150$~V. 

This power supply exists at Brookhaven from previous experiments. 

The 3-phase, 480~V input power will be fed from an existing disconnect switch. 

The power supply will have an AC circuit breaker.

A new regulator will be implemented based on the existing design for the AGS Main magnet power supply. 

The power supply will be fully programmable from 0 to 3600~A. 

It will have a voltage regulator as the inner loop and a current regulator as the outer loop. 

Both voltage reference and the current reference will be generated from a high-level computer algorithm for a given magnetic field pulse and a given function of the load resistance as a function of current and time. 

We need to replace the voltage feedback sensor with a LEM DCPT (DC potential transformer). 

We need to replace the existing current sensor (shunt) with a LEM DCCT (DC current transformer). 

These sensors have been successfully used in the past in various power supply systems.

All the old interlocks will be updated using an Allen Bradley Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). 

This PLC will be programmed to make decisions on the interlocks and safely turn of the power supply if an interlock occurs.
 
The power supply will have the following interlocks:
\begin{itemize}
\item DC Over-current
\item RMS magnet current interlock
\item AC Over current
\item Blower failure
\item Ground Fault
\item Magnet faults
\item Magnet resistance interlock
\item Cryo-interlocks
\end{itemize}

In case of any interlock failure, the power supply will be phased to 150~degrees in 100~ms.

This means the power supply voltage will be -150~V, the current then will go to 0~A in 3~s maximum time, depending where the interlock occurs in the cycle. 

Then the AC circuit breaker will be commanded to open by the PLC regardless whether the magnet current is at 0~A or not.

A crowbar circuit based on self-triggering silicon control rectifiers (SCR's) will be implemented to short the magnet if the magnet voltage becomes greater than 350~V. 

In this case, the magnet current will decay to 0~A with the L/R magnet time constant which is typically 3.6~s. 

Note: L = 138~mH, $R_{\textrm{max}} = 38~m\Omega.$

Minimum repetition rate is 5~minutes

  \label{ps-fg7}
\end{figure}

\subsubsection{Case 2-3 power supply (10, 14.5~T magnet)}

This power supply will be a thyristor phase control power supply composed of 4 series/parallel Case-1 power supplies. It will be rated at 7200~A, $\pm 300$~V. 

These power supplies exists at Brookhaven from previous experiments and will be modified as described in Case 1. 

The 3-phase, 480~V input power will be fed from existing disconnect switches.

The power supply will have four AC circuit breakers, one per power supply.

Two parallel power supplies (MOD 1 and MOD 2) will be fed from the same existing substation and the other two (MOD 3 and MOD 4) from a different existing substation. This will not require any modifications to our existing substations regarding power supply input power requirements. 

The power supply will be fully programmable from 0 to 7200~A. 

It will have two voltage regulators as the inner loops and a current regulator as the outer loop. 

Note: For Case 2, L = 0.138~H, $R_{\textrm{max}} = 38~m\Omega,$ for Case 3, $L = 0.436~H,$ $R_{\textrm{max}} = 37~m\Omega.$

In order to share current properly between parallel power supplies, we intend to run 2-in water-cooled busses from the +~terminal of MOD 2 to the magnet and from the +~terminal of MOD 1 to the magnet. The same is true for the -~terminal of MOD 4 and MOD 3. 

The anticipated overall bus resistance should not exceed $2~m\Omega.$

A crowbar circuit based on self-triggering silicon control rectifiers (SCR's) will be implemented to short the magnet if the magnet voltage becomes greater than 350~V. 

In this case, the magnet current will decay to 0~A with the L/R magnet time constant which is typically 3.6~s for Case 2 magnet, 12~s for Case 3 magnet. 

All the old interlocks will be the same as Case 1 power supply and will be updated using an Allen Bradley Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). 

Minimum repetition rate for case 2 magnet is 20 minutes, for case 3 magnet 30 minutes.

\end{table}


The Case 1 power supply should be compete by the end of the 4rd quarter, middle of FY03. 

The Case 2-3 power supply should be complete by the end of the 8th quarter, middle of FY04. 

This schedule is spread apart over 2.7 years, taking into account other projects of the C-AD Power Supply Group. 

All the parts purchased should be bought at the same time for the following reasons:
\begin{itemize}
\item We need almost all the parts for the controls rack for Case-1 power supply.
\item The DC bus should be bought at the same time to save money.
\end{itemize}
